Our reading of livedot, from the data
livedot is a maps & location MCP server from livedotme, listed in the official MCP Registry.
Its 20 tools add about 10,332 tokens to every model turn, heavier than the maps & location median of 5,692 tokens across 60 measured servers (measured 2026-10-19).
With 0 GitHub stars it ranks #225 of 858 maps & location servers we index.
It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install.

Tools (20)
create_event2,013 tokCreate an event in the signed-in account from GPX files or links: a cycling ride, tour or race (Windline) or a run or running race (RunFast). Pass every GPX the user gave as files: several files make a multi-day tour by themselves (never ask for the type when it's obvious), ordered by the numbers in their names (1, 01, "day-2", "Stage 3"), else by the map (each day starts where the last ended); day names, km, climbing and a suggested name come from the files, and the days follow one another from start, at the same time, skipping rest_days. The first call (without confirm) only reads the files
plan_route1,369 tokWeather and a flyover for a GPX file or route the user shares. If the user attached a GPX or route file, call plan_route and pass the file as gpx_file; if you can read the file's contents yourself, you may instead pass its text as gpx or its points as points. Never treat a file name as an event name. Also a Ride with GPS or GPX link, or another app's route points: the weather along it at the time they'd ride or run it, and a flyover of the route (a flyby, fly over my route) that plays in the chat, coloured by the weather: the forecast within 10 days, 10 years of weather on that date beyond it,
post_club_ride756 tokPost a DRAFT group ride (Windline) or club run (RunFast) on a club or organiser page the signed-in person runs, from a GPX route or link, once or weekly: always for the group, never private. Publish it with publish_event. Confirm the details with the user first. If the signed-in person runs any club or organiser page (list_my_events lists them) and hasn't said who it's for, ask one short question first: is this a private ride or run for you, or a group ride or run for <club name>? Then use post_club_ride for the club, or create_event with visibility private for themselves. A route can also com
tap_on_the_back558 tokSends a tap on the back: a short buzz on the person's phone, with the sender's name if signed in (or a first name they give). In the day after a finish it arrives as a congratulation. Use it only when the user explicitly asks to give someone a tap on the back; one tap per request. Inputs: person (an id from find_person), or a livedot handle or follow link; or tour (the tap goes to the tour's organiser on its days); or club with event (one tap to each member on the club's live map who accepts taps). Side effects: sends a notification to the person (or to each club member, and it reports how man
invite_members551 tokInvite a club's members, or a tour's riders, by email, from a list the organiser gives (a CSV, a spreadsheet's text, or names and addresses typed in): for a club or organiser page the signed-in person runs (page on Windline, club on RunFast) or a published tour of theirs (event). Each person gets one email from livedot: "<club> added you as a member" (or "<organiser> added you to <tour>") with Confirm; nobody joins until they confirm, and nobody is invited twice. The first call (without confirm) only reads the list and returns who would be invited and who's skipped (listed twice, invited befor
find_person534 tokFinds a person who is live on livedot right now (cycling on Windline, running on RunFast) and answers where they are. Use it when the user asks where someone is or how they're doing in a race ("Where's Megan in the Comrades?"), or gives a livedot handle (@megan, livedot.me/megan) or a follow link. Inputs: name_or_handle as the user wrote it; event if they named the race; surname, bib, club, place or wave to narrow. Returns: for one clear match, the live answer (position, time against goal, finish estimate, the weather there) with a live map; for several matches, the 5 most likely and the total
find_coaches494 tokFind cycling and running coaches and training groups near a place, e.g. personal cycling trainer in Johannesburg, running coach near Sandton, coaches near Fourways. Use it for any coach, personal trainer, coaching or training group question (never find_clubs, which lists clubs). Lists coaches and training groups on Windline (cycling) and RunFast (running) nearest first, with what they coach (road, MTB, gravel, triathlon, beginners, racing, marathon, ultra), how (1-on-1, small group, online), their next group session with its weather, whether beginners are welcome, the qualifications they state
find_clubs470 tokFind running and cycling clubs near a place, e.g. best running club to join in Fourways, beginner cycling group near Sandton. Lists approved clubs and organisers on Windline (cycling) and RunFast (running) nearest first, with their weekly sessions, whether beginners are welcome, whether anyone can join (Open to anyone) or it's members only, their pace groups, their next session with its weather, the club's own links page when it has one, and a Join link to the club's page. Set beginners for "beginner friendly", "new to running", "for beginners"; set open for "open to anyone", "anyone can join"
find_events407 tokFind public cycling and running events near a place and when: races, multi-day tours, club rides and club runs on Windline and RunFast, e.g. trail runs near Cape Town in November, cycle tours around Johannesburg. Each with its date, where it starts, the weather (the forecast within 10 days, typical weather beyond), its club or organiser and an I'm in link to its page. Only published public events of approved clubs and organisers.
club_in_race389 tokShows how a club, team or coach's athletes are doing in a live race. Use it when the user asks about a club or team in a race ("How is the UCT team doing in the Comrades?") or a coach's athletes ("How are Coach Nadia's runners doing in the Comrades?"). Inputs: club (its name or page address, windline.tech/c/<club> or runfast.tech/c/<club>) or coach; event if named. Returns: each member's km, time against goal or finish time, and a map with just their dots; each person opens their live card. If several clubs or coaches match, or their people are live in several races, it lists them so the user
tour_route384 tokA Windline cycling tour's route, day by day: "What's the Durban Tour 2027 route?", "Give me the GPX files for Alistair's tour", "Where is Alistair's Durban tour?". On the tour's days its card offers a tap on the back for the organiser (tap_on_the_back with tour). To fly over day 3 of a tour ("Give me the flyover for day 3 of TSF 2026"), pass day: 3. Finds a published tour by its name, its address or its organiser's or club's name, and returns each day (from and to, distance, climbing, start time), a map of every day, and the weather (the live forecast within 10 days, 10 years of weather on the
where_is341 tokWhere someone is right now, in a live race or on a ride or run of their own (Ride live, Run live), and the weather they're in: km and mile on the course, time against their goal, pace, the finish time it points to, the temperature and wind there (headwind, tailwind or side-on) with the Windline forecast engine's rating, the wind and heat over the next few km, and a live map with a Follow live button. Use it with the person id find_person returned, or straight away with a livedot handle or follow link the user gave. It answers only what the public live page shows: if they're paused, stopped, ne
event_weather323 tokWhat the weather will be like for a cycling or running event, for the people taking part: "What will the weather be like for the NYC Marathon?", "Weather for the Comrades demo?". Within 10 days of the start: the live forecast (Apple Weather) along the course at the times the riders or runners get to each stretch, with the Windline forecast engine's rating (Good, Fair, Tough) and why, the headwind and tailwind stretches, heat stress and rain. Further out: 10 years of weather on that date (Copernicus ERA5), clearly labelled as history, not a forecast. With a map of the course coloured by the win
event_status294 tokShows how a live race on livedot is going. Use it when the user asks how a race is going or who is leading ("How's the Comrades going?", "Who's leading the Coast Classic?"). Inputs: event (the race's name). Returns: whether it's live, how long it has been under way, how many people are on the public map, how many have finished, and the leaders the public race map shows, with a live map. If several races match, it lists them so the user can choose. Limits: public races only; only what the public race map shows. Read-only.
fly_route278 tokFly over a race course inline: "Fly the Comrades", "Show me the course", "What does the NYC Marathon route look like?". Returns a flyover of the course on a map that plays in the chat, coloured by the weather along it (the live forecast within 10 days of the start, 10 years of weather on that date beyond it, as event_weather), with a "Fly it in 3D" link to the full Fly the route and the event's livedot page. If several events match it lists them: ask which one. For a route the user gave as a GPX file or link (their own route), use plan_route: it flies over that route too.
update_event278 tokChange one of the signed-in organiser's events: its name, description or notes, or start dates and times. Never a finished event (finished events stay as they were). Tell the user exactly what will change and get a yes first.
publish_event165 tokPublish one of the signed-in organiser's draft events, so anyone with its link can see it (Windline: at tour., event. or ride.windline.tech/<address>). Private events can't be published. ALWAYS ask the user to confirm first, then call with confirm: true.
add_tour_notes161 tokSet or add to a Windline cycling tour's notes for riders (what to pack, how the tour runs, meeting points; markdown, up to 10,000 characters), shown on the tour's page. Never a finished tour. Show the user the notes and get a yes first.
tour_notes140 tokBeta, cycling tours only: the organiser's own notes for riders on a Windline tour (what to pack, how the tour runs, meeting points), for questions like "What should I pack for the Durban tour?". Answer only from the notes: quote and summarise them as the organiser's words, never invent anything, and say so when they don't cover the question.
list_my_events138 tokThe signed-in organiser's own events on Windline (rides, tours, races) or RunFast (runs, races, and their clubs' runs): each with its id, status (draft or published), who it's for (private or shared), dates, distance, whether it's finished, and its dashboard, public or private links; and the club and organiser pages they run (pages on Windline, clubs on RunFast). Call it before making a new event, to know whether to ask who it's for; and to find an event id before changing one.
